Heard good things about the movie & so i went to check it out myself and i was not disappointed.
The film is written & directed by veteran director Priyadarshan and is a thriller where lead role is played by Mohanlal.The story revolves around murder of a retired judge, a blind man (Mohanlal) & its aftermath.
If you have seen the trailer & thought it was lame just wait after you see this movie, cause then you will understand that it was made so intentionally.The movie outright surprises with good camera work, Songs, sory progression ... the works, you name it & its there.
Its a strong comeback by the director after a couple of lemons. Mohanlal succeeds in making the audience feel the pain & struggle he is in & the director succeeds in making you stay at the edge of your seat.
A great movie & no doubt one of the best movies of the year !!!!

Well for a non-malayalee guy like me watching a Malayalam movie was a different experience and I experienced it fully!!!
Oppam!!! man what a masterpiece ! I have always heard of Malayalam films being more realistic and I now I have believe that what I heard was true.
This film was totally realistic. I am more of a Hollywood guy. Bollywood I don't like that industry they are not making good movies (though some are good). And I also watch Tamil and Telugu Movies usually sometimes in Hindi Dubbed and sometimes in there original version (depends upon my excitement).
And some of them are creative and innovative and some are just a popcorn entertainment's. But this Malayalam movie was 100% realistic without much any waste of time and also without showing unrealistic superman type action they made the movie more grounded.
Acting wise- Superb Action wise- Well done Thriller wise- Exceptional work !
Seriously I have become a much of an appraiser of Malayalam Cinema after watching this phenomenal movie.

Wonderful acting by mohanlal as an blind man, it was good to see that he is not giving eye contact , but concentrating to hearing while he converse with others, and respond to circumstances, a good screenplay is seen in the movie, where the culprit is known earlier itself, but how it is proved is a good challenge, the first two songs were good, with a nice BGM while at the time of suspense moves, the challenging moves between hero and the villain, was a good show, over all good acting by mohanlal, samuthrakani,child artist and others too .well directed by priyadarshan, worth watching this movie on how a blind person can prove he is innocent.
Oppam is not the kind of movie that you expect from Priyadarshan Mohanlal team. The movie is a thriller which tells us the story of a visually impaired Jayaraman trying to save the life of a girl from a psychopath killer while trying to prove himself innocent for a murder he had not committed. Even though he is blind he tracks the killer with his intelligence and with the help of his other heightened senses of smell, sound and touch. There are lot of secrets which slowly unfolds through the course of the film. After Drishyam, this is the Mohanlal movie I was waiting for. I really liked the performance of all the characters. But I was little disappointed with the role given to Renji Panicker. I expected more of him in the film. But Mohanlal played the role with such perfection, proving once again that he is one of the finest actors of our country.This movie is a must watch.
Watched the Telugu dubbed version. Well made and great acting by Mohanlal. Direction from Priyadarshan is outstanding. Must watch
